Abstract

Nach dem Mauerfall flossen umfangreiche öffentliche und private Investitionsmittel in die ostdeutsche Wirtschaft. Dies hatte einen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung zur Folge. Begünstigt durch die Art der Privatisierung ostdeutscher Firmen entstanden jedoch vielfach 'verlängerte Werkbänke' westdeutscher Unternehmen, während die Zentralen und Entwicklungsabteilungen der Unternehmen in der Regel weiterhin im Westen angesiedelt waren. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es der ostdeutschen Wirtschaft bis dato schwergefallen, ihren Innovations- und Produktivitätsrückstand aufzuholen. Für die Zukunft bieten sich verschiedene Ansatzpunkte, um die wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit Ostdeutschlands zu steigern.
